Ingredients

Yield: 4 servings

Main

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
  • 2 bell peppers (any color), cored and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

  2. Step 2

    In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces, broccoli florets, bell pepper pieces, and red onion wedges.

  3. Step 3

    Drizzle with olive oil. Add the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated.

  4. Step 4

    Spread the chicken and vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan, as this helps everything cook evenly and get a nice sear.

  5. Step 5

    Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (no longer pink inside) and the vegetables are tender-crisp. If you want more browning, you can broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.

  6. Step 6

    Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately. Delicious on its own or with a side of rice or quinoa!

Tips

  • For extra flavor, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the finished dish.
  • Feel free to swap in other quick-cooking vegetables like zucchini, cherry tomatoes, or green beans.
  • Ensure vegetables are cut into similar sizes for even cooking.
